Conservation around Fregate Island Trailer

Since 2018, Blancpain and Fregate Island Private have joined forces to study, restore and preserve the marine environment around the island. Coralive.org and BlueNomads.org led the field projects with additional support from the Green Islands Foundation, and the Seychelles Conservation and Climate Adaptation Trust. A new short film illustrates these efforts. For this project, eight hundred storm-derived coral fragments—appealingly named ‘corals of opportunity’—were transplanted onto eight artificial structures at depths of between five and seven meters.
